A Note to Readers Express Insights Not that you needed another reason to join the growing ranks of our Premium subscribers, but our own Roy Young has given fans one more great reason to upgrade (or be glad they already have). Last week, Roy introduced "Express Checkout," a mailing that highlights five valuable takeaways from each weekly newsletter. Not only do you get the meat of the week's articles in a concise, one-page format—you get it a day before everyone else (and you know what they say about the early bird). Also this week, check out the one-two punch on global marketing from two of our frequent contributors. Nick Wreden gives us the bigger picture in "The Next Generation of Global Branding?" He identifies global brands as "symbols" of a culture created by the Internet, travel, music and other influences that easily seep across porous borders—with implications for brand strategists. Next, the always-entertaining Suzan St. Maur offers the more tactical "How to Write for a Multilingual Marketplace." In part one of her two-part series, she shares her hard-won practical insights about crafting your messages for different languages and cultures. Enjoy this week's edition, and let me know what you think. As always, your feedback is both appreciated and encouraged. Until next week, Ann Handley
